A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor region formed in a semiconductor substrate and having a first conductivity type due to first-conductivity-type active impurities contained in the first semiconductor region, and a second semiconductor region formed between the first semiconductor region and the surface of the semiconductor substrate and having a second conductivity type due to second-conductivity-type active impurities contained in the second semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region contains first-conductivity-type active impurities whose concentration is zero or smaller than a quarter of a concentration of the second-conductivity-type active impurities contained in the second semiconductor region. An insulating film and a conductor are formed on the second semiconductor region. Third and fourth semiconductor regions of the second conductivity type are formed at the semiconductor surface in contact with the side faces of the second semiconductor region. This semiconductor device is capable of suppressing net impurity concentration variations as well as threshold voltage variations to be caused by a short channel effect or manufacturing variations.

A method for optimizing a structure of an industrial product includes selecting control factors from among manufacturing parameters affecting a target characteristic, which is scheduled to be manufactured by a sequence of manufacturing processes; setting levels to the respective control factors; selecting a reference characteristic having a trade-off relation with the target characteristic from among characteristics of the structure; setting a reference value to the reference characteristic; selecting a prior adjustment factor affecting the reference characteristic; creating conditions for experiments assigning combinations of the levels to the respective control factors; determining an adjustment value of the prior adjustment factor so that each of characteristic values of the reference characteristic obtained by the experiments conforms substantially to the reference value; and determining experimental characteristic values of the target characteristic using the adjustment value.

A nonvolatile memory cell comprises a semiconductor substrate of first conduction type, a high-concentration impurity region of second conduction type formed on the semiconductor substrate and connected to a bit line, an insulation film in which carrier traps are formed, and a gate electrode that is opposite the high-concentration impurity region across the insulation film and connected to a word line. Carriers are captured by, and released from, the carrier traps formed in the insulation film, in response to bias voltages applied to the word and bit lines. Information stored in the memory cell depends on whether or not the carrier traps are holding carriers. The information is read out of the memory cell as the difference of a tunneling current flowing between the semiconductor substrate and the high-concentration impurity region.
